Anyone who is willing to tackle making their own "distro" has my respect! Maybe most of us can "customize" an existing distro, or build a mixture from a "minimal" installation, but to do what you're doing is super-geeky-cool. My respects!
Oh, and you too, Jerry and Team!
[member=6925]RandomBoy[/member] Thank You
Each time I try and do just the smallest bits, it makes me realize more the massive amount of time and work that has gone, and continues to, go in to making Linux Lite such a smooth to use and refined distro.

The next song played also would not then stutter, have you heard of this before ?
Keep in mind that it's a VM so some things might not work the way they do in a real machine. I really never install many apps in my VMs, at least not the ones I used in my real pc. I mostly play with customizations and stuff like that. For instance, I installed 3 different desktops in Arch; XFCE, LXDE and LXQT and been checking resource usage and customizations posibilities. While doing that I learnt that resource usage is almost the same for the 3 of them, but when it comes to customization posibilities XFCE beats them all, so yeah, if I loved it before now I do even more ;D

Thank You I get this now.
I had thought when asking it may be an issue that needed to fix.

On the video I notice, after the display manager, is the blue screen, is it a splash screen, and if so will removing it make it go from the display manager to desktop faster as it doesn't have to load this ?
Or it loads in the background and the splash doesn't slow this ?
I have installed GIMP now, using the Software centre. All working correctly.
Also I removed Mplayer, as it has Deepin player (not tested with video yet), plus VLC working now.

I really don't know. You might look into it to find out what it is. How much RAM did you assign for the VM? If it is less than 1GB you might increase it to see if that helps. Did you enable 3D acceleration in the VM? If you haven't go to settings > display > screen and check 3D acceleration box to enable it, then click on "ok" to close that window and start the VM to see if that helped.

Hello,
I assigned 4GB (4096MB) of RAM to the machine, 2 processors(cores), and I do have ticked Enable 3D acceleration.
I read an article yesterday about VirtualBox speeds on Ubuntu, he writes about the Power Management settings/profile on the Host computer, and that altering this is what speeds up VB guests, what do you think of his idea, has anyone tried it ? -

Unsure if it would help with desktop computers, he seems to use laptop, as he writes also of battery.

[member=411]bitsnpcs[/member] That looks good enough for me. I only assigned 1GB of RAM and 1 CPU since this pc ony has 4Gb and a dual core CPU, but it serves my purposes. Regarding the article, the system host's author was Windows, so I'm not sure how could apply when using a Linux OS as the host. By the way, I found this and thought you might be intersted in it

I certainly find it interesting at the very least and will definitely have a look into it.
[member=7109]Moltke[/member] we have already gone over this topic, although I can see it is interesting for you.
Anyhow Thank You for the link, I have had a look at the link, it does not interest me at this time.
It is not for beginners in Linux like me.

I forgot to state yesterday, and so for clarity, editing the grub, I used terminal, and a default text editor (pluma).
Tonight I edited the login page a bit, its theme, its images, and its stylesheet.
I used GIMP, and a text editor (pluma).
I made a cloned VirtualBox machine in case I messed it up, then done it just by a trial and error, until I was happy with it for this stage.

Since video have also removed default language menu from bottom panel, so now bottom panel it has just the desktop environment selector on the left and the reboot/shutdown selector on the right.
